As many will be hosting their own Passover Seders this year for the first time, we’ve been doing Haggadah Insights over Facebook Live, and a Torah-Tuesday Model Seder to help students, alumni and parents be better prepared.
Remember: the most important 2 Mitzvot are eating the Matzah and telling the story of the Exodus (in a personally relevant way). After that comes the 4 cups, the bitter herbs. And whatever else you can include after that. Seders do not have to be perfect, and not all materials or ingredients may be available to do, but do your utmost! Give it your best!
Below are additional resources, from our own files as well as Chabad.org’s extensive Passover site that can be especially useful.
See our page of Haggadah Tweets – brief tidbits and nuggets of Haggadah meaning and Passover inspiration, all tweet-sized. This page on our site has our collection of Passover Tidbits, Insights, Stories and Inspiration.
Chabad.org’s Passover megasite has a wealth of resources to do your own Passover Seder, including the following – and much more:
How to clean for Passover in a week: tips and suggestions, and some details about what should be cleaned or koshered, and what doesn’t have to be.
Selling Your Chametz Online – this must be done before the eve of Passover.
Printable Haggadah options, or browse internet for more options.
Seder Shopping List. Please note this is for a normal year. Given the circumstances there’s no need for a fancy Seder plate, even a paper plate is fine. Shmurah is best and ideal but if not use whatever Passover Matzah you have. No need for a silver Kiddush cup or wine goblet, even a plastic cup is fine.
The Seder Plate: this version has six spots because it has the Bitter Herb twice. Many do the bitter herb once and have 5 slots of the Seder plate. No need for a fancy plate, any plate works. And you can use any roasted chicken or meat on a bone as the shankbone.
